For each file the dialog which lists that files ranking and the number of files selected beginning
with a file "1 of x" statement and the full path and file name of the current file being presented
for sending. The user can choose one by one to send by clicking YES or to pass on sending by
clicking NO until file "x of x" files has been reached or exit the entire process by clicking CANCEL.
During the sending of multiple files, after the first one is done sending, you can click YES to send
the next one. You can of course click NO or CANCEL while the tool is transmitting, but you
should not click YES when the tool is transmitting as the next file is not be sent and will be
dropped from the queue. Thus if you are going to send a number of messages from files you can
queue them all up at one time to send them one by one and even change your mind as to get to
each on or exit the entire process, which for a traffic rep is a time and effort saving feature.
You can also move the "Drag & Drop Send File" dialog to the side or just click on the MS-DMT
main GUI and change data rate and or interleave settings in between clicking YES to send a file.
The "Drag & Drop Send File" dialog will re-center automatically after you click a selection on it
again. You can also repeat the sending of a file once sent by pressing the "ReSend" (DataPort
renamed) button which ReSends the last messages sent by Drag & Drop (as well as Send File and
use of the DataPort with an external terminal) by pasting the previously sent message into the
outgoing message window where you can then hit Send, whenever you are done resending, you
can then refocus on the Drag & Drop File dialog and the next dropped file for sending or exit the
process.
All files that are not ASCII will be processed for sending which is not desired as they will
terminate prematurely depending on the characters contained and will not display properly on
the receiving end.
If a file selected is too large then an error message only will be displayed listing the file as being
too large, if "View File" is selected and multiple files are selected then the file that fills the TX
buffer will generate a Buffer Full error message and any subsequent file selected will do the
same.
